Riyadh, KSA, May 07 – Swisslog, the global leader in innovative robotic, data-driven, and flexible automated solutions, has announced its participation at Saudi Smart Logistics 2024, scheduled from May 6-9 as part of the Riyadh International Industry Week 2024. The event will bring together four major industrial trade shows under one roof, connecting over 16,000 regional and international leaders from the industrial and logistics sectors, in Riyadh. Swisslog will be showcasing its groundbreaking AutoStore robotic storage and order processing solution.

With a strong presence in the Middle East market, Swisslog, alongside its regional partners such as Almarai, Raha, and Robostores, has a proven track record of delivering tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of local businesses. Additionally, the company’s extensive range of robotic and data-driven solutions aligns strategically with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, an ambitious initiative spearheaded by the Saudi Arabian government. This forward-thinking plan seeks to diversify the economy, promote innovation, and encourage sustainable development throughout various industries.

At Saudi Smart Logistics 2024, attendees can see the power of Autostore at Swisslog’s dedicated booth. The innovative solution offers a wide range of benefits for businesses, including increased storage capacity, enhanced picking efficiency, and improved inventory management. It integrates with existing infrastructures, effortlessly meeting the surging demand for rapid, precise, and reliable order fulfilment. With its compact design and modular setup, AutoStore is ideal for companies looking to maximise space utilisation and streamline their operations.

Our goal at Swisslog is to support these advancements with easy and effective warehouse automation. A robotics solution like Autostore aligns with the country’s broader efforts to diversify its economy and enhance its logistics capacity and shipping volumes. We’re excited for people to witness its power as well as gain insights into the latest developments shaping the future of logistics and supply chain management. “
